Okay, I haven't read the thread, but I felt like responding in here because the comic sucks sooo much. Well that's always a great reason for joining a community You're wrong. You wouldn't believe me, but I've met people... This one guy can literally have sex with any woman he approaches. I'm not ki...

.... A personal anecdote: I used to take the mocking of negs as an insult to my ego because I, like many people who have studied that stuff, had low self esteem and had trouble believing that a girl would ever be interested in me at all. I thought I needed tricks because it was so hard for me to co...

Infestors are, at the current state pretty overpowered. The question to me is more how to nerf them, than if to nerf them. NP nerf is not a bad choice, though personally I might have been satisfied with flying massive, or just giving mothership immunity to NP. Like being able to easily completely ru...

Infestors are hilariously fun against non-mech Terran. Well, they're still fun against non-mech, but it's not as much fun gooping tanks as it is gooping 30 marines and watching them all explode simultaneously. You really should not be gooping tanks, what you should do is burrow and throw some infes...

Spanishiwa took a week off of streaming because he was trying out a new build and people complained about him losing. It was some kind of macro hatch thing, looked pretty cool. Oh. Well there are certainly replays and VODs of his up on the web, so there is stuff to watch. But I am glad to hear he i...

I think if you think the Ice Fisher is too passive you should watch Spanishiwas stream sometme. The way he plays it he doesn't leave his opponent alone for long. Indeed I think his play style is the Scariest ZvP I have seen among any player, he utilizes so many harassment methods to massacre his opp...

I just played the second game this week where I got matched with a Zerg player who never built any units. They fast expand, throw down some spines, then just sit there. I'm over in my base doing a 3-gate fast expand, and then send my obs over to see 2 hatches, 4 queens, a few spines, and 2 lings. S...

What's the best counter to thors for zerg? I've run into a couple of ladder games against terran where they've gone thor crazy and I haven't found force composition that can really deal with that. It sort of depends on the rest of the composition. If they are near tanks there is nothing that will m...

And again today... They played in the finals against each other but the games were all pretty bad. Moon basically threw the last game. A failed 6 pool doesn't put you that far behind on that map as long as you throw up a hatch soon after getting out 6 zerglings and then drone like crazy. Yeah, ...

Immortals. Cost less and are produced faster. Yeah, strike cannons will eliminate individual immortals, but it also stuns the thor, and thors lose horribly in a straight fight, let alone when those immortals are supported with stalkers or zealots. Immortal+zealot would wreck thor+hellion. Immortals...

Just say which match you're going to do! Only two matchups have been done so there's plenty of material. We could alternate to catch up maybe? Very well! I'll do Psion v InvaderSpleen and Elfuego vs Ebitten for now. EDIT: Done the casting, will upload them in a few hours and expect it to take a fai...

Casting looks like fun, if you don't mind El Loco I would love to give the next posted match a try. And some constructive criticism of your casts: I watched the first and third game of Avin and Tekster. The first game the major problem was audio which you fixed to the third game, but apart from that...

And you would be in a position to know how agonizing gender dysphoriia is exactly how? Something you're not telling us? man everyone knows people with post traumatic stress disorder suffer far less from that than people with a tooth ache. A tooth ache is real pain man. Everyone knows that's the wor...

In fact it is "cushy", I am sure they all drive home in sports cars fueled by Champagne and sweat from the brow of real hard workers, the investment bankers. Dude, I am not gonna get into unions but investment bankers don't have cushy jobs. They work for their money, even if they earn it ...

First off I am kinda depressed that NA really has become a conservative shithole. The xkcd forums, a Conservative shithole? There is a debate on that you should watch. I have no idea what you are talking about. The Republican primary debate is currently on. I had considered there was a substantial ...

First off I am kinda depressed that NA really has become a conservative shithole. The xkcd forums, a Conservative shithole? There is a debate on that you should watch. I have no idea what you are talking about. And eh, Xiao, brevity is the soul of wit. Your response is far more succinct and elegant...

I can only imagine that Pawlenty is not saying that the government shouldn't pay for roads but rather that the government should contract out all of its road construction and maintenance to the lowest bidder instead of having a Department of Public Works filled with cushy unionized government-secto...

First off I am kinda depressed that NA really has become a conservative shithole. But let's see if we can at least sow some seeds and hope they are not eaten by maggots. A variety of chemical pumps could be implemented unilaterally, right now, for a trivial cost, and completely halt global warming w...

Does anyone understand the idra gg from that one game? I think the consensus is A He thought his opponent had his gold up and running and was gonig for a fourth B He felt his attack with banelings did not go very well C He thought that the drop at his natural had killed all his workers, but they we...

My 4gate stuff is working, though no doubt at higher levels it would be less effective. My only real problem is that my opponents keep whining about me cheesing them They're whining about cheese because 4gate is cheese... ...You should have an overseer for scouting to begin with, and it'll just as ...

So, to all zerg players out there complaining about 4-gate and other early agression: Don' t fucking hatch first then you twats . What would you guys say is the most viable strategy against early expanding Zerg? I think you wrongly feel the need to kill the expansion quickly. Two fully saturated ze...

[ Versus terran sentries are also a bit less useful... This is where I vehemently disagree, and is why I think a LOT of newer Protoss complain about MM balls being overpowered in t1/early t2. Guardian Shield takes a flat 2 damage off EVERY ranged attack made against shielded units. Marines attack f...

Oh, and if you are Zerg and want to kill void rays, you want some hydralisks but more importantly some infestors.If you have a proper ball of void rays, ie tightly packed, six fungals (placed without too much overlap) will kill one, or twenty, void rays. If you don't have quite that many infestors, ...

This, essentially. The entire Gateway unit setup is predicated on good use of Sentries. Guardian Shield laughs at Marine damage and Marauder damage vs non-armored. Force Field makes it possible for Stalkers to do something other than die horribly against a Marauder blob (they'll still die painfully...

EDIT: But generally regarding MLG, korean fanboys are going to be annoying the shit out of me for a while now I feel. People who go "oh man a single code S player in any tournament will win easy! Everyone knew koreans would dominate this tournament". ugh... I am still blaming Idra and his...

I wouldn't put it past him to still hold a grudge about this . It's kinda funny, MC looks, and acts, like a fat five year old. EDIT: But generally regarding MLG, korean fanboys are going to be annoying the shit out of me for a while now I feel. People who go "oh man a single code S player in a...

Land swaps? What land will Israel receive in exchange for the West Bank? Are you referring to the West Bank settlements outside of Israels 1967 borders? Also, I find it interesting that he still appears to be operating on the assumption that the change in the Arab world is necessarily positive: it'...

Yeah, anything less than four tsks just isn't cutting it anymore. So if the raid was legal, and the execution botched, the BDA should pick up the rest. The British Dental Association? I hear Lemming was instrumental in ending the reign of The Big Cheese, but I don't know how he can help internation...

I'm not dismissing images as useless and immaterial; they serve as evidence that certain people in Palestine have abundant resources. But that's about all they do. That's all I'm trying to show. That the resources are abundant , even if their distribution is unfair. You think the statistics shown s...

These aren't valid comparisons. You have to remember that this is an act of self defense for Israel: the palestinian government has been rocketing them since they took power. The alternative to the blockade is suicide. That said, read the rest of this post to see why it's not entirely necessary to ...

Master's is not extreme. My grandmother taught for NYC Public schools grade level and had a masters, why cant others do it. It's extreme because is that really necessary? If you've taken a bechelor in maths you should know far more about math than you will ever need to teach your students at a midd...

Womens national basketball team v High School team I think it could go either way. I think the best high school team would win, obviously a bad one would lose. But I mean when I was 14-15 I played in a (for my age) mediocre youth soccer team, we were in the middle divisions for our age. We had a pra...

I lost track of this conversation. Old internet pals I think you would call it. Also talking about Wheel of Time , aka WoT. Wow, Rand must have been in town or something. ...hell yes . Oi. I already represented us here. 888 I fail to see what the junior Senator-elect of Kentucky would have to do wi...
